Patient Location Visibility

Real-Time Location Visibility of Patients at All Times

As patients move throughout the open, communal environment of behavioral health units, insight into each patient’s location is important for both safety and quality of care.
‍
Leveraging the power of Momentum’s RTLS In Motion, full visibility into the location of patients is provided across the department and the facility. Data is collected passively to a measure opportunities for workflow improvements for better patient care experiences.

Patient Workflow

Eliminate Bottlenecks and Optimize Patient Flow for Better Care Delivery

Our solution provides visibility into patient and staff workflows by leveraging the RTLS sensing technology. This visibility gives hospitals the ability to improve patient flow, increase access, and create better staff and patient experiences.

• Reduce patient wait time
• Improve patient throughput
• Increase staff value-added time
• Streamline care coordination

Asset Location

Real-Time Visibility into The Location of Mobile Medical Equipment

The ability to quickly locate medical equipment improves efficiency. Use Momentum RTLS In Motion to access the location of your equipment from the nurses’ station computers or via our mobile applications to your wireless device.

• Quickly locate a complete list of equipment – by name, category, or status (in use, soiled, or clean).
• Pinpoint the exact location of equipment when needed for care or maintenance
• Find the top spots for equipment to be and what their status is.

Asset Par Levels

Find and Replenish Equipment Efficiently

Lack of visibility into the current inventory levels of PAR-monitored locations causes day-to-day tasks like replenishing equipment to be reactive and inefficient for supply chain staff. Use RTLS In Motion to streamline operations by ensuring current PAR tracked equipment is within desired ranges.  Alert staff when minimum asset levels are triggered for specific departments, so equipment can be retrieved and available when it is needed by your patients.

Staff Tracking & Duress

Wireless Staff Duress Calls Are Always Within Reach

Just as patient safety is a top priority, clinical staff safety and protection are also at the forefront of hospitals’ concerns. A cost-effective panic alert system that prevents threats from escalating into a dangerous situation is becoming an essential tool with an increased risk of work-related aggravated incidents.

Our wireless staff duress system uses staff badges equipped with wireless call functionality that discreetly summon help via the RTLS network. Suppose a staff member needs assistance or is faced with a threatening situation. In that case, the individual can simply press the button on their staff badge to request help, sending an alert message to responding staff with the precise location of the request.

Automated Temperature Monitoring

Automate Monitoring of Temperature-Sensitive Units Such as Refrigerators, Freezers or Warming Cabinets

Our RTLS temperature tags collect temperature, humidity and CO2 readings. Readings and data are automatically collected for each appliance or space being monitored. Staff are notified of any abnormalities in readings so corrective action can be taken immediately. All information is logged to aid in compliance audits.

• Easily monitor units and spaces to verify which are in range, at risk of being out-of-range or are out-of-range so corrective action can be taken immediately.
• Drill into a specific device or space to view the history for the previous week.
• Log corrective actions in the event of an issue and view the corrective actions logged.

What Is Hand Hygiene Compliance?

Identify Opportunities for Performing Hand Hygiene

Hand hygiene involves disinfecting hands with either alcohol or soap and water to prevent the spread of infectious disease. Healthcare facilities are at high risk for spreading infections and since the role of hand hygiene in reducing unnecessary infections was discovered, health organizations have attempted to incorporate a protocol to improve hand-washing standards.

The issue of compliance comes down to training, motivating and reinforcing appropriate behaviors. Hospitals and medical centers must implement guidelines for hand hygiene systems and find a way to monitor and increase compliance.
